She is so nice and understanding, she's also a great teacher and really listens to her students. We pretty much just read for homework and had open discussion in class but you don't actually need to read to pass. Prof Economou is great!HUSV2340 2021-12-23 21:13:09 +0000 UTC
Someone says, " The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book." She is one of the best professors I've ever had in Northeastern. She teaches her students from her heart. She is incredibly knowledgeable and respectful to students. She is very understandable and caring. With no iota of hesitation, I would take her class again! Love her!HUSV2300 2018-01-06 00:59:51 +0000 UTC
She works at a hospital as a social worker/counselor so she knows what she's talking about. Only HW is reading, and it's not overwhelming. No tests, just pop quizzes on the reading. Grades were based on participation, 2 papers, a group project, and the quizzes. Kind lady who gets to know students. Mix of lectures, discussions and practicing skills.HUSV2300 2017-03-21 20:08:00 +0000 UTC
